[Cursed]

As you can tell from my name, I have been anticipating this movie for quite a long while a now.

I was so glad when I found out that Milo had been cast in it. Although with all the reshoots I hope he doesn't end up on the cutting room floor.

i agree, that wouldn't be good at all, i can't wait to see the movie, i'm off to check out the site for it.

[*~*Sparkle*~*]

Last I heard Milo is still in the movie. [img]smilies/clap.gif[/img] Even after a lot of other actors were cut.

Does anyone know what Milo's role in the movie actually is?

My favorite scene in Winter Break is when Matt was trying to put his arm around Michelle when they were on the couch watching the movie. His facial expressions were classic Milo.

[* Sonia *]

sorry, I don´t know anything about his role

I can´t wait to see milo on the big screen!!!!!!

[Kelly_mv]

Updated the first post with a little more information regarding 'Must be the Music' and 'Mass holes'.

[Cold Blooded Jelly Donut]

I've only seen in She's all that *so ashamed and deprived*

[karma killer]

They better not cut Milo from it [img]smilies/pout.gif[/img] The cast seems pretty big for a horror movie, so I doubt he has a starring role in it or anything.

[iluvjesslotz]

I was so psyched when I heard abt this movie bc my name is Michelle...And I think at some point he said, "I love you, Michelle." and I just couldn't keep from screaming back at the screen, "I LOVE YOU, TOO!"

Favorite part...Well, the most adorable part was when Milo was with all those little kids and he sang the Big Burn Bear song [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] What a charmer he is. But, yanno, the shirtless parts were kinda priceless. It's a tie btwn cute Big Burn Bear Milo, and shirtless Milo [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Did you guys listen to the commentary with the movie? At the one part where Matt and Michelle are making out, I think one of Milo's costars is like, "Look at Milo flexing right there. There was no need for flexing. That was completely unnecessary." Just really funny [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

[* Diane *]

I can't wait for the movie

well who could cut milo out of a movie ???? [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

[*starsail*]

I just saw Sheer Bliss/Winter Break/Snow Job on the weekend! I really liked it.

I just hated how they try to project it as one of those teen movies (American Pie-ish with nudity and gross humour,etc), which it isn't at all.
<-- who is this skanky girl?! lol, they should have stuck with Sheer Bliss as the title and projected it as more of a romantic comedy.

I'm glad to see that Milo's going to be on the big screen. And just as everyone else said, I hope he's not on the cutting room floor.
